BUSINESS ASSISTANCE

[savimbi]

Dear Friend,
This letter may come to you as a surprise due to the fact that we have not yet met. 
The message could be strange but real if you pay some attention to it. I could have 
notified you about it at least for the
sake of your integrity. Please accept my sincere apologies. In bringing this message 
of goodwill to you, I have to say that I have no intentions of causing
you any pains.I am Ms. Sandra savimbi, daughter of the late rebel leader Jonas savimbi 
of Angola who was killed on the 22nd of febuary 2002 . I managed to
get your contact details through "The World Business Journal", a journal of the 
Johannesburg Chamber of Commerce in South Africa in the time I was desperately looking 
for a trustworthy person to assist me in this
confidential business.
my late father, Jonas savimbi was able to deposit a large sum of money in differnt 
banks in europe My father is presently dead and the movement of his family members 
(including me) is restricted. We are forbidden to either travel abroad or out of our 
localities. Presently, the US$25,600,000.00 twentyfive, MILLION, six HUNDRED DOLLARS 
my father
transfered to Netherlands is safe and is in a security firm.I am therefore soliciting 
your help to have this money transfered into your account. before my
government get wind of this fund .You know my father was a rebel leader in Angola 
before his death My reason for doing this is because it will be
difficult for the Angolan government to trace my father's money to an individual's 
account, especially when such an individual has no relationship ,I
decided to keep that money for my family use. At present the money is kept in a 
Security Company in netherland.
I am currently and temporarily living in Angola with my husband.
Moreover the political climate in Angola at the moment is so sensitive and unstable.
When you are ready i will give you the information needed before you can get access to 
the fund you will then proceed to Netherlands where the US$25,600,000.00
twentyfive, MILLION, six HUNDRED DOLLARS will be given to you as payment.
Alternatively, you can have the fund transferred into any account that suits you.
and for your co-operation and partnership, we have unanimously agreed that you will
be entitled to 20% of the money when successfully received  in your account.
The nature of your business is not relevant to the successful execution of this 
transaction.  kindly provide me with all your contacts addresses including your 
personal telephone and fax number.
All correspondence is for the attention of my
counsel:Jim Martins
Kindly get back to us.
sincerely,
Sandra Savimbi

I have found that the administrative costs of PKI are   
intolerable. End users do not really understand crypto, and so 
will fuck up. Only engineers can really control a PKI   
certificate, and for the most part they just do not.

In principle the thingness of a smartcard should reduce   
administrative costs to a low level -- they should supposedly  
act like a purse, a key, a credit card, hence near zero user   
training required.  The simulated thingness created by   
cryptographic cleverness should be manifested to the user as   
physical thingness of the card.

Suppose, for example, we had working Chaumian digicash.  Now   
imagine how much trouble the average end user is going to get  
into with backups, and with moving digicash from one computer  
to another.  If all unused Chaumian tokens live in a smartcard, 
one might expect the problem to vanish.  The purselike   
character of the card sustains the coin like character of   
Chaumian tokens.

Of course if one has to supply the correct driver for the smart 
card, then the administration problem reappears.

USB smartcard interfaces could solve this problem.   Just plug 
them in, and bingo, it should just go.  Ummh, wait a moment, go 
where, do what?  What happens when one plugs in a USB smartcard
interface?

Still, making crypto embodied in smart cards intelligible to   
the masses would seem to be a soluble problem, even if not yet 
solved, whereas software only crypto is always going to boggle 
the masses.

attorney charged with forgery: impersonation via email & chatroom

[Major Variola (ret)]

Plea Deal Upsets Scorned Lawyers
[*]  Justice: They want a tougher sentence for an attorney who allegedly

used a stolen identity to chastise them online.


Criminal defense lawyers make their living in part by pleading for
forgiveness on behalf of their clients. But in the case of Ana Maria
Patino, members of the California Public Defender Assn. are crying out
for blood.

Patino is a Santa Ana attorney who used the organization's closed
Internet chat room to attack other members with a stream of angry
missives, association officials say.

After being booted out of the group last year, Patino reemerged
surreptitiously, using the online identity of a young law school
graduate, prosecutors said.

This prompted an investigation by the FBI and local police that resulted
in charges of identity theft and forgery.

Prosecutors, however, have agreed to dismiss the charges if Patino
apologizes, performs community service and pays $1,500 in fines.

The deal has members of the association crying foul, saying that Patino
victimized them and avoided jail time by hiring a well-connected defense
lawyer.

They say prosecutors are letting her off too easily.

They also complain that as the "victims" of the crime, they were never
consulted about the plea deal.

"I'm astounded. Clearly the D.A. doesn't care about identity theft,"
said association board member Don Landis, who is an Orange County deputy
public defender.

"They're really interested in victims' issues when they want to be tough
on some indigent client who pocketed something at Mervyn's, but when it
comes to dealing with an Orange County lawyer, it's a different matter.
It's hypocritical."

Members of the group--which is open to all defense attorneys--plan to
take the unusual step of asking a judge next month to scuttle the plea
bargain and demand stiffer punishment for Patino.

Patino, a defense lawyer who specializes in appeals cases involving
immigration law, was the chat room's most active participant.

Firing off 10 to 15 critical messages a day on a variety of
criminal-defense topics, Patino would sometimes sign her electronic
missives as "Xena" or "Lady Anne."

Chat-room users say many lawyers felt the heat of Patino's flames, but
the 54-year-old attorney allegedly crossed the line when she picked
fights with the leader of the Orange County Bar Assn.

"I really don't know why you would think anyone would care what you
think," Patino wrote to then-Orange County Bar President Jennifer
Keller.

"You never have ceased to amaze me in your pretentious sense of power
which you choose to gloat over people."

Patino also took aim at association director Michael Cantrall, cursing
him and vowing to "bring you down and everyone else associated with
you."

The defenders group responded by stripping Patino of her chat-room
privileges and terminating her membership in the association.

But in June of last year, just weeks after she was bounced from the chat
room, Patino reemerged under a false identity, the association said.

Using the name and a bar license number of a 28-year-old law school
graduate, Patino reportedly resumed her electronic chats as Lianna
Figueroa.

The alleged ruse worked for several months, association officials said,
until Patino began to complain to the site's Webmaster about service.

The Webmaster reportedly recognized Patino's confrontational style and
telephoned the real Lianna Figueroa to ask whether she was dissatisfied
with the Web site.

"I had no clue what they were talking about," Figueroa said.

"I just finished law school. I never applied to them for an account."

Authorities eventually charged Patino with identity theft, forgery and
fraud.

Patino hired powerhouse Orange County defense lawyer Alan Stokke, who
discussed a plea deal with prosecutors.

Deputy Dist. Atty. Susan Riezman said Stokke's political connections
played no role in the deal.

"This is an appropriate agreement based on the totality of the
circumstances, and the non-seriousness of the crime," Riezman said.

"The victim suffered no financial loss nor any loss of reputation."

Riezman noted the matter would also be investigated by the State Bar of
California.

Patino insists that she has done nothing wrong and is being persecuted
by the association. "I am innocent," Patino said. "I do not know
anything about Lianna Figueroa. I don't know her and I don't know
anything about an apology."

She insists that the public defenders are out to get her. As an appeals
lawyer, she said, she regularly exposes the sloppy work of public
defenders.

"Their motivation is to get back at me," Patino said. "I make them look
bad. They're motivated by envy."

Figueroa, the lawyer whose identity Patino allegedly used, said she has
been troubled by the experience.

She said prosecutors should hold Patino to a higher standard because she
is a lawyer.

"I have no idea what this person was telling people under my name, and
I'm worried people will think it's me who said it," Figueroa said.

No Banners Allowed On Overpasses

(Sacramento, CA) -- The California Department
Of Transportation has ordered the removal of
all flags and banners hung by residents from
freeway and highway overpasses. Several
flags and signs calling for peace were draped
from overpasses after last year's terrorists
attacks. Cal Trans workers began removing
the banners after officials determined they
were a safety hazard. Some people
complained that Cal Trans was removing the
peace signs but leaving the flags. Yesterday,
Cal Trans reversed its policy and ordered
workers to remove flags as well as the peace
banners.

They're also used for non-cellular phone minutes -
Ladatel in Mexico is a big user, and I've worked with some
British Telecom folks whose business cards are also
1-pound telephone smartcards.  Supposedly Japan was
a heavy user of the things for cheap vending machine payments.

Another big usage is European satellite decoder keys;
the low cost of smartcards is important because the codes
keep getting cracked by commercial pirates.

I'm not convinced that the number of people selling them
is closely related to the number of people buying;
this could be another field like PKIs where
the marketeers and cool business plans never succeeded
at getting customers to use them.

>Mondex, as far as I know, sank with very little trace.

At least here in San Francisco, Mondex tried very very hard
to find all the ways that smartcard payment systems
could be user-friendly and not implement them.
They didn't just shoot themselves in the foot,
they went out looking for more feet to shoot at.
A Starbucks two blocks from my office accepted Mondex
as payments for coffee, which would seem to be ideal,
especially since there was a Wells Fargo Bank branch
two blocks from them with a big Mondex sign on the door.
But you couldn't just walk into the bank, slap down some
dead presidents, get your card, and go buy coffee.
You walked up to the unmanned Mondex desk, which had paper forms
and a phone that called some office that had somebody who
would tell you how to fill out the forms and snail-mail
them in to people along with your bank account information
who would then snail-mail you your card,
though once you'd done so I gather you could refill it easily.
I don't remember if you had to have a Wells Fargo bank account to do it,
or could get by with a Visa card instead - I think the former.
I took my dead presidents down to a non-Starbucks for some regular joe.

A previous company I worked for made a secure smart-card reader
chip/system that used smart cards to carry a user's private key and
cert.  The initial application was the SET electronic payment protocol.
(all together now: yuck!)  SET didn't take off, and not many of these
were sold.

Amex hyped up their 'blue' card & was giving out free readers for
a while... until they discovered that the drivers were fatally broken
(ha ha, it was done by a competitor of the company above, their
product was shite).  That, plus the fact that Amex couldn't get
more than a few merchants to go along with it, doomed the project.
They stopped giving out free smartcard readers pretty quickly.

The company I work for now uses smart-cards in a K-of-N split key
scheme to authenticate administrators of secure proxy servers.  These are
actually selling to real live customers and work just fine.

Niche markets like these are the only place where smart card use will
be growing in the near term, unless Larry Ellison and Scott "you
have no privacy" McNealy get their fat government contracts for
implementing the single signon surveilance state...

Yup.. This bit I agree with (in contrary to the other reply to your message). 

There are still issues over the correctness of that aforementioned
randomizing package; is it correctly designed and implemented. AFAIK
Pd would let a user know it was being run.

Actually, I'd exactly call Palladium as being root over my machine,
maybe a part of my machine (a Tor/NUB/whatever), but root.. It could
be claimed that I have a choice as to whether or not I wish to run the
'other' software. However, I've always had that choice (the power
switch). Its still root.

The idea I believe is that I'm supposed to be mollified by the idea
(as you suggest) that I can get root on someone elses machine, to
control what they can and can't do.. However, little is said that the
reverse applies to me; someone has root on *my* machine.

Now, that might not be bad, if it weren't for the power inbalance
between me and them. Why do I have a 'bonus saver' card for 3 grocery
store chains? Why am I stuck with draconian EULA's that promise
nothing and take away everything.

Create a PAYCHECK with your COMPUTER

[Vanessa63929497]

Good afternoon -

You get emails every day, offering to show you how to make money.
Most of these emails are from people who are NOT making any money.
And they expect you to listen to them?

Enough.

If you want to make money with your computer, then you should
hook up with a group that is actually DOING it.  We are making
a large, continuing income every month.  What's more - we will
show YOU how to do the same thing.

an email, you can do this.  No special "skills" are required.

How much are we making?  Anywhere from $2000 to $9000 per month.
We are real people, and most of us work at this business part-time.
But keep in mind, we do WORK at it - I am not going to 
insult your intelligence by saying you can sign up, do no work,
and rake in the cash.  That kind of job does not exist.  But if
you are willing to put in 10-12 hours per week, this might be
just the thing you are looking for.

This is not income that is determined by luck, or work that is
done FOR you - it is all based on your effort.  But, as I said,
there are no special skills required.  And this income is RESIDUAL -
meaning that it continues each month (and it tends to increase
each month also).

Interested?  I invite you to find out more.  You can get in as a
free member, at no cost, and no obligation to continue if you
decide it is not for you.  We are just looking for people who still

We'll then send you info, and you can make up your own mind.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

P.S. After having several negative experiences with network
marketing companies I had pretty much given up on them.

I tried that search.  In the first 4 pages, I found only European sites

It has. Basically, the author of Scramdisk took the NT version, added
some XP support, a couple of new algos and launched it as a commercial,
closed source product. The boot-time protection was requested repeatedly
on the SD usenet forum (with several good discussions of different
approaches) and it wasn't much of a surprise that it turned up in the
commercial product.
Personally, I think it is excellent and completely trustworthy - I just
won't use it on principle as I don't run closed-source crypto. I am
sticking with my (purchased) copy of SD4NT for now on W2K, and waiting
on the SD4Linux project to produce something usable for that boot
partition.

shamelessness -- have been apparent all along, since 9/11 he's been acting 
on them big-time. This so-called "conservative" wants absolute and total 
power to fight whatever war he wants, and in whatever way he wants, and for 
as long as he may want.

Swinger clubs Raided in Arizona
[From the Arizona Republic] It wasn't bad enough that the state of Arizona 
practically raided ASU for its involvement in Shane's World. Now it turns 
out that the owners of four Phoenix sex clubs plan to ask a federal appeals 
court to stop the city from conducting more raids like the one that ended 
with their arrest Friday.
In 1999, U.S. District Court Judge Roslyn Silver denied the owners' request 
for an injunction against enforcement of a ban on live sex acts in 
businesses. Then in August, Silver ruled in the city's favor and 
effectively gave it the go-ahead for enforcement.
Despite the arrest of four sex club owners and operators Friday for 
violating the 1998 ban, the swinging apparently carried on. Although 
patrons were technically violating a public indecency law, they were 
allowed to continue with their activities after club owners were allowed to 
hand over keys and instructions to subordinates. Milo Fencl, owner of Club 
Chamelon, said his arrest came in retaliation for lawsuits he and three 
other sex club owners filed against the city. "It certainly crosses my mind 
that that's the motivation," said Fencl, 56, who spent 14 hours in jail 
Saturday and, like the other three owners, could face up to 6 months in 
county jail if he is convicted. Four of the five swingers clubs in the city 
formed an alliance to fight the ban as a civil rights violation. One that 
did not join the fight, Sociables II, was the only business where police 
did not find violations.
Fencl's lawyer, Nick Hentoff, said he thinks police tipped off the club. 
Police deny the accusation, but acknowledge that it appears the club had a 
heads-up on the raid. Hentoff also questions why owners and operators were 
hauled off to jail for a misdemeanor offense. Phoenix police said they were 
making a point. "We will continue to arrest them as long as they violate 
the ordinance," said Phoenix police spokesman Detective Tony Morales. A 
business is in violation if it provides "the opportunity to engage in, or 
the opportunity to view, live sex acts."
Meanwhile in the motherfucker country...
Moves to reduce the age at which people can watch hardcore pornography from 
18 to 16 are to be backed by Charles Kennedy, the leader of the Liberal 
Democrats.
In a radical move which Kennedy argues revealed that the party was truly 
libertarian on social issues, the Liberal Democrat leader said he had no 
problem with proposals backing the change, to be discussed at this week's 
party conference.
'We are a liberal party,' he said in an interview with The Observer before 
the conference, which starts in Brighton today.
'We shouldn't be too apologetic or defensive about raising issues like 
this. No doubt there will be those who will roundly criticise us for the 
temerity to discuss these things, but it is a legitimate issue, people want 
to debate it.'

DJ replaced after song on sex with minors
By Brad Kava
Mercury News
Only weeks after a pair of disc jockeys were fired for broadcasting an 
alleged sex act inside New York's St. Patrick's Cathedral, a DJ on three 
local stations has been replaced after he played a self-produced song 
extolling sex acts with 9- to 12-year-old girls.
An irate listener taped the song and filed a complaint with the Federal 
Communications Commission and the station.
But the station managers say the removal of KSJO-FM afternoon host Mike 
``Mikey'' Esparza was a programming change.
``I'm feeling frisky, I know it's risky,'' the lyrics of the mostly 
unprintable and highly profane song by Esparza said. ``I like the statutory 
rape.''

Bill targets ill-gotten gains
September 24 2002
By Sophie Douez
Canberra
The proceeds of crime can be confiscated from suspected terrorists, drug 
traffickers and other criminals before they are convicted or even charged 
under new laws passed by Federal Parliament yesterday.
Criminals are also prevented from selling their story or trading on their 
notoriety for profit.
Under the Proceeds of Crime Bill 2002, courts will be able to freeze and 
confiscate assets in cases where the Director of Public Prosecutions can 
prove "on balance of probabilities" that a person has been involved in 
serious criminal activity in the previous six years, or that the asset is 
the result of a particular offence.

Forbes picks up where Financial World left off. The December 14, 1998 issue 
of Forbes contained the magazine's first-ever valuations of professional 
sports teams. To no one's surprise, the Yankees topped the list for MLB, 
with an estimated value of $362 million based on 1997 revenues. The Orioles 
($323 million) and Indians ($322 million) followed, with the Twins ($94 
million) and Expos ($87 million) at the other end of the scale. However, 
Forbes did not consider the Yankees MLB's most profitable club in 1997: 
their estimated earnings of $21.4 million were topped by the Colorado 
Rockies' $38.3 million. Some of Forbes' estimates appear dubious - notably 
that the Dodgers earned only $900,000 in 1997, and that the world champion 
Marlins lost $5.5 million. The magazine also estimated the debt-to-equity 
ratios of every club, with the Rangers (79%), Giants (89%), Brewers (97%) 
and Tigers (an incredible 106%) the most highly leveraged.
Forbes published 1998 valuations in its May 31, 1999 issue. Once again the 
Yankees led the field; their record-breaking season helped boost their 
value 36%, to $491 million. The value of the average non-expansion team 
rose 11% in 1998, with 22 of the 28 teams worth more than the year before. 
Exceptions were the Mariners, White Sox, Marlins, Royals, Twins and Expos. 
The Yankees were also MLB's most profitable club, earning $23 million even 
after their revenue-sharing payments. Forbes estimated that 14 teams lost 
money - but since their list of losers includes the Dodgers, Cubs, Red Sox, 
Mets and Angels, it should be taken with a large grain of salt.
Forbes' valuations were accompanied by a diatribe against revenue sharing 
which opened, "Planned economies sound great in theory but don't work very 
well in practice," and went on to decry "more revenue socialism." Forbes 
didn't explain how the owners' decision to change the formula for dividing 
the revenue from their jointly produced product qualified as a "planned 
economy" or "revenue socialism."
In Arlington socialism for the rich works for Thomas 'shady' Sheiffer and

meeting to take place at the Brenner Pass between Mussolini and someone 
else.The cryptanalyst had deciphered the letters H-TL-R.
He asked me if I had any suggestions.Straight away I said Hitler,its got to 
be Hitler.
He looked at the message again and said after a while.Well yes.But theres 
not the slightest shred of cryptological evidence for such a conclusion."

"We are taught, if you give a promise you must be able to fulfil it, 
otherwise, make no promises."
Former Russian spy Victor Makarov understands too well the consequences of 
unfulfilled promises.
He risked his life for Britain, a country he had never visited but had 
fallen in love with, by passing secrets at the height of the Cold War.
But ten years after he finally made it to London, his fight to enjoy the 
benefits of life as a regular British citizen have been denied.
As an idealistic 20-year-old, Victor joined the KGB where he rubbed 
shoulders with Vladimir Putin, now Russian president and translated 
messages from Western embassies intercepted by the Soviets.
"Diplomatic correspondence is the holiest of holies," he told Inside Out.
"We often knew the opinion of the ambassador, the foreign minister, even 
the Heads Of State. All the Western foreign policy was on our tables."
But he became increasingly disillusioned with the Soviet Union and used to 
flick through an old AA road atlas, dreaming of defecting to Britain.
By the mid 1980s he was passing secrets to Britain, risking execution if 
caught.
But he in turn was betrayed by a friend, arrested and spent five 
back-breaking years in a Russian prison camp.
The government of the United Kingdom... took the information that Victor 
Makarov had, wrung him dry and left him to hang out in the cold
David Kahn, author
When he was released in 1992, one of the last ten political prisoners held 
in the Soviet Union, he contacted the British authorities.
He met an MI6 agent in Latvia who provided him with a passport and said he 
would be given the chance to live as a normal British citizen.
Ten years later he is still waiting.
He arrived in London, worshipped at a church in Stoke Newington, but has 
had to live in bedsits and cope with deteriorating health.
Defector status
Last year he took legal action against the Government and now has enough 
money to live modestly in the north.
But he has never been granted full defector status, nor has he been allowed 
a pension.
New York author David Kahn leading authority on codebreaking, said he 
believed and trusted Victor Makarov and rather liked him.
He said: "The government of the United Kingdom...took the information that 
Victor Makarov had, wrung him dry and left him to hang out in the cold."

At Disney World’s Epcot Center in sunny Orlando, Florida, crowds of 
well-fed, smiling children and their parents dressed in bright summer 
cottons, crowd into the Universe of Energy attraction. There, surrounded by 
a dizzying array of special effects, they are treated to “Ellen’s Energy 
Adventure,” featuring a very young Ellen Degeneres and Bill Nye the Science 
Guy, who take them on a tour of the wonderful world of energy – a 
crowd-pleasing experience complete with life-like dinosaurs.

A world away in the jungles of Sumatra in Indonesia, a bone-thin family of 
Aceh natives squat inside their tiny hut clad in worn rags, waiting to eat 
their meager midday meal. Suddenly, Indonensian soldiers burst through the 
door screaming “Where are the men? “ They are looking for members of GAM 
(Gerakan Aceh Merdeka, the freedom movement).
There is a terrified scream as one of the men seizes a tiny baby from the 
arms of its mother. He dashes the child to the ground outside the hut. In 
an act of hideous brutality, he pours the boiling water used to prepare the 
family dinner over the screaming child. No one is allowed to go to the 
baby’s aid.

The next day at sunrise, after the soldiers have left, the baby dies.
What do these two seemingly unrelated and grossly different scenarios have 
in common? They were both “sponsored” by Exxon.

Togo: Publisher jailed, editor hunted. Julien Ayi, publication director of 
the independent Nouvel Echo, has been jailed for four months for "attacking 
the honour" of Togolese president Gnassingbé Eyadéma. Reporters sans 
Frontières reported that Ayi was also fined the local equivalent of about 
$148 and one franc for symbolic damages in the 13 September court hearing.
The paper had alleged that the US-based Forbes magazine that had calculated 
Eyadéma's personal fortune at US$4.5 billion - which the US magazine later 
denied. Alphonse Névamé Klu, the paper's editor-in-chief, went into hiding 
following the article's publication, was sentenced to six months' 
imprisonment and a fine of 100,000 CFA francs. A warrant for his arrest has 
been issued.
"This sentence comes shortly after Parliament's adoption of the new Press 
Code," said RSF Secretary-General Robert Ménard. "These are two very 
worrying developments for press freedom in Togo." The new Togolese press 
code applies heavy prison sentences for defaming or insulting the president 
or state institutions, courts, the armed forces, and public administration 
bodies.

Re: What good are smartcard readers for PCs

Companies buy a few readers for their developers who write software to work
with the cards.  They may even roll out a few in pilots, and put out a stack of
press releases and print brochures advertising how hip they are for using smart
cards.  Eventually the clients discover how much of a bitch they are to work
with (installation problems/buggy drivers/incompatibilities/not having your
card when you need it/etc, not helped by the fact that smart card vendor after-
sales support is the most client-hostile of any PC hardware type I know of)
that users decide to live with software-only crypto until the smart card scene
is a bit more mature.

Given that n_users >> n_card_vendors, this situation can keep going for quite
some time.
